1/ Tips from @micjm:

-Think of your Twitter account as a channel that provides people with quality content.

-If you water down your signal-to-noise ratio, people will notice and start to pay less attention to your tweets.

Alright let's do this.

1 retweet = 1 harsh reading truth
No one book is a match for everyone.

Even if a book has 10,000+ 5-star ratings, you might not enjoy it.
You have time to read books, you just aren't prioritizing it.

Twitter is the most powerful social media platform in the world.

However, most people don't know how to use it effectively.

Here are 10 tips that will help you master Twitter...
1/ Allow Me To Introduce Myself

Your Twitter profile is your new business card.

People should be able to quickly understand who you are and what you have to offer.

Pick your banner photo purposefully.

And have a link in your bio so people can learn more about you.

Example:
2/ Content Is King But Format Is Queen

Spacing and formating matters.

When making a list, put the shorter words on top and the longer ones on the bottom.

Bad:

• Banana
• Apple
• Blueberry

Better:

• Apple
• Banana
• Blueberry

(PS: Press alt + 8 for bullet points)

I've read 200+ books.

Here are 10 of the most valuable mental models I've learned from them...
1/ Develop A Growth Mindset

People with a growth mindset believe that their abilities can be developed through practice and hard work.

They believe that with the right amount of training, they can accomplish almost any task that someone else can do.
2/ Change What You Can & Accept What You Can't

If you're unhappy about a situation, do what you can to improve it.

But if there's nothing you can do, then accept your circumstances.

Getting upset isn't going to make things better.

Accept things and wait it out.
